Chapter 559: Japan's Crazy Expansion of the Army

Song Keer heard the secretary tell her that the richest man in Hong Kong, nicknamed Li Chaoren, wanted to be a peacemaker between his husband and wife and the Xie family, and immediately frowned, the richest man in Hong Kong is very capable in Hong Kong and the mainland, if her husband is not compromising with the Xie family, then if you don't make a mistake, you will have to have a deal with the richest man in Hong Kong.

In fact, this time Song Ke'er's kidnapping is not directly related to Xie Xianyu, the head of the Xie family, at most, it is an indirect connection, but in the face of the unreasonable Lin Daxin, Xie Xianyu can only kneel, Lin Daxin recognizes that if you Xie Xianyu did not pester my wife, my wife would not have been remembered by that Liu Mingfeng, and she would not have been kidnapped, and she almost became a vegetative person, so you Xie Xianyu, and even the entire Xie family, will have to pay the price for this.

Song Ke'er was not ready to implicate Xie Xianyu because of the kidnapping, but Song Ke'er was unwilling to change what Lin Daxin recognized, so poor Xie Xianyu was sad.

The Xie family was even more unlucky, for no reason it was attacked by Lin Daxin, the five listed companies controlled by the Xie family were all subjected to the hostile takeover of Daxin Holdings, which has caused the Xie family to lose a large part of the funds, and the controlling stakes of the five listed companies have become precarious.

The Xie family is really drunk with Lin Daxin and Song Keer, you said that Xie Xianyu of our family didn't know about the kidnapping, can you do this? You must know that such a blockade hostile takeover not only made the Xie family lose a lot, but even Daxin Holdings also lost a lot of funds.

Song Ke'er pondered for a moment and said to her secretary, "Sister Meng." Reply to the richest man in Hong Kong, I will go to the Jinhao Garden Hotel for a banquet tonight. ”

Song Keer's secretary asked, "President." What about Mr. Yu? ”

In the past, although Song Keer's secretary knew that Song Keer was married, he was not able to see Lin Daxin. I haven't seen it at all, this is also Lin Daxin and Song Ke'er's deliberate, try to avoid more people seeing Lin Daxin, after all, Lin Daxin needs to play missing often, the more people know about Lin Daxin, the more potential safety hazards will bring.

However, after Song Keer was injured this time, Song Keer's secretary finally saw Lin Daxin's true face of Lushan, and also saw Lin Daxin's huge energy, and also knew that Lin Daxin was the real boss of Daxin Holdings. And this big boss is really fierce, in order to avenge Song Keer, he almost messed up the black and white of the entire Hong Kong.

"Tell the richest man, let's go to the banquet together tonight, let him wait for us and his wife at the Jinhaoyuan Hotel!" Suddenly, a voice sounded from the corridor between the 3rd and 4th floors, Song Keer heard this voice, and her face suddenly showed a look of surprise, this voice Song Keer is too familiar with, it is the voice of her husband Lin Daxin.

Lin Daxin said as he walked down the stairs. It turned out that Lin Daxin and Ding Xueshan, Du Juan, Liu Xiumei, and He Yue talked for a while, and then traveled to modern time and space, and at this time, Song Keer had just walked out of the room that Lin Daxin had crossed back to. When Lin Daxin came out of the room on the top floor, he happened to hear the conversation between Song Keer and the secretary.

Since the richest man Li wants to be a peacemaker. Then you might as well meet and see what tricks the Xie family and that richest man Li can have!

"Husband. You return ...... You're out! Song Keer turned her head and saw Lin Daxin walking down the stairs, and shouted in surprise.

"Mr. Yu!" Song Ke'er's secretary shouted respectfully.

"President!" The two bodyguards at the entrance of the building also shouted one after another. These 2 bodyguards are all members of the Huaxing Association, and Song Keer's bodyguards. They are all good players selected by Lin Daxin from the Huaxing Society, including 20 bodyguards of the Huaxing Society, who were newly transferred from the Huaxing Association after Song Keer's accident and added to Song Keer's side.

Lin Daxin walked to Song Keer's side, not caring about the two bodyguards who were still standing next to him and Song Keer's secretary, Lin Daxin stretched out his arm and hugged Song Keer in his arms at once, and then said softly: "Ke'er, have you eaten?" ”

Song Ke'er leaned on Lin Daxin's body and said in a coquettish voice: "I didn't eat it!" Kerr is still waiting for her husband to eat together! ”

Lin Daxin nodded and said, "Okay, then let's go eat right away." ”

After that, Lin Daxin turned his head to Song Keer's secretary and said, "Xiao Meng, you go and reply to the richest man, and our husband and wife will go to the appointment on time in the evening!" ”

Song Ke'er's secretary nodded respectfully and said, "Yes, Mr. Yu, I'll reply to the message over there immediately." ”

Although the conflict broke out between the Chinese Empire and Russia on the border, killing and wounding some officers and soldiers on both sides, and the two countries instantly became full of gunpowder, not only Tsar Nicholas II was preparing to launch a war against the Chinese Empire, but even Lin Daxin ordered the Ministry of Defense of the Chinese Empire to implement the plan previously formulated to attack Russia, it can be said that the clouds of war have begun to loom over the two countries of the Chinese Empire and Russia, and a large-scale war may break out at any time.

However, Lin Daxin was very confident in the strength of his Chinese Empire, and explained to several important ministers that he was ready to strike first against Russia, so he put aside the Russian affairs first, and then started to travel through the ring, travel to modern time and space, and accompany Song Keer, anyway, there is still a long time before the real attack on Russia is launched, and it will take a lot of time for the troops of the Royal Army of the Chinese Empire to mobilize to Andong Province and Anxi Province, which are close to the border between China and Russia.

In the imperial palace in Tokyo, Japan, Emperor Meiji excitedly summoned Prime Minister Saionji Kotobo, Foreign Minister Yoshimoto Tomobayashi, War Minister Katsura Taro, and Navy Minister Togo Heihachiro into the palace, and said in a somewhat excited tone: "You may already know about the border conflict between Russia and the Chinese Empire, according to the information of the Imperial Intelligence Department, this time Tsar Nicholas II is not ready to give up and is likely to launch a war against the Chinese Empire, which is really the best news for our Great Japanese Empire!" ”

Prime Minister Saionji Gongwang followed and said excitedly: "It's really Amaterasu's blessing!" At this time, if Russia could break out into war with the Chinese Empire, Britain and France would face a dilemma, which was to help Russia declare war on the Chinese Empire. Or let Russia go, if Britain and France choose to be with Russia. Then we, the Great Japanese Empire, can join the Entente, together with the three countries of Britain, France, and Russia. War has been declared on the Chinese Empire! ”

Britain and France were afraid that Japan would drag them into a war with the Chinese Empire, so they did not happily agree to Japan's entry into the Entente, and if Britain and France were to fight with the Chinese Empire, then there would be no obstacle for Japan to join the Entente, and Japan could completely join the whirlpool.

When other countries encounter such a war, they can't wait to get away, and only Japan, which is full of infinite resentment towards Lin Daxin and the Chinese Empire he established, can't wait to declare war on the Chinese Empire together with Britain, France and Russia, and only in this way can Japan take revenge. Take back the lost territory.

Foreign Minister Yoshimoto Tomobayashi said with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty the Emperor, the diplomats of our Ministry of Foreign Affairs will immediately contact Britain, France, and Russia to re-mention the matter of joining the Entente. ”

Emperor Meiji nodded and said, "Diplomats must do more work, especially to contact the Russians, and it is best to get our Japanese Empire to join the Entente, and on the issue of the Entente against the Chinese Empire." To reach the hopes of our Great Japanese Empire. ”

Foreign Minister Yoshimoto Tomobayashi promised that the current border conflict between China and Russia had suddenly made tensions between the Chinese Empire and the Entente powers, and it was impossible for Britain and France not to ignore Russia. In this way, it will be much easier for Japan, a powerful country, to join the Entente, after all, Japan's army and navy are ranked sixth in the world. With such a strong ally working together against the Chinese Empire, Britain and France would certainly reconsider Japan's entry into the Entente.

Emperor Meiji excitedly walked back and forth in the room twice. Turning his head to the four confidant ministers, he said: "If you want others to look at it with the right eyes, you must have the strength to let people see it with the right eyes." Nowadays, the army and navy of our Great Japanese Empire, as well as the air force, although not weak, but compared with the three armies of the Chinese Empire, the land, and the air force are far behind, and our Great Japanese Empire must continue to strengthen its own strength, so that Britain and France can make up their minds, and in the subsequent war against the Chinese Empire, only our army of the Great Japanese Empire is stronger, can defeat the army of the Chinese Empire in the war and regain what our Great Japanese Empire has lost. ”

Saionji Gongwang, Yoshimoto Yurin, Katsura Taro and Togo Heihachiro looked at each other and nodded, but the four of them all agreed in their hearts, everyone understands this truth, the key is that it is a little difficult for Japan to maintain the current scale of the navy, land and air force, let alone continue to strengthen the strength of the Japanese army.

Emperor Meiji gritted his teeth at this time and said: "In the imperial treasury, there are still some treasures left by the emperors of the past, and this emperor is going to take out these treasures and sell them, and then use the money from the sale of the treasures to continue to expand our army, so that Britain and France can see the determination of our Great Japanese Empire!" ”

Saionji Gongwang hesitated for a moment and said, "The treasury can still squeeze out some of the funds, and in addition, the ministers will organize the people of all Japan to donate money and contribute to the army of the Japanese Empire." ”

Foreign Minister Yoshimoto Tomobayashi also said, "The minister will continue to sell the government bonds issued by the Empire of Japan to foreign countries, hoping to raise more funds for the Imperial Army." ”

Katsura Taro said at this time: "Your Majesty the Emperor, we, the officers and soldiers of the Great Japanese Army, are willing to leave the money where it is more needed, regardless of the allowance and subsidy!" ”

Heihachiro Togo also said: "The officers and men of our navy are also willing to pay no allowance, hoping to save money and build more warships for our navy." ”

Emperor Meiji shook his fist fiercely, "Good! As long as we in the Great Japanese Empire are united, we will certainly be able to wash away the shame of our Great Japanese Empire and take back the land we lost! ”

After the border conflict between Russia and the Chinese Empire, Japan, an unrelated country, suddenly went crazy, and the madness was jaw-dropping.

Japan's original army had a total of 66 divisions, including the Guards Division, and these standing divisions all had about 30,000 troops, making the strength of Japan's standing army close to 2 million.

After the Sino-Russian border conflict, Japan announced the formation of 30 new divisions, all of which are about 30,000 divisions, but these newly formed divisions, compared with the original 66 divisions, can only be regarded as lightly armed, such as tanks and armored vehicles, these heavy equipment, the newly formed 30 divisions are not ready to be equipped, you must know that the original 66 divisions, there are also many divisions and regiments tanks and armored vehicles have not been equipped in place, not to mention the newly formed divisions!

The Japanese Army's 30 new divisions and regiments that are ready to be formed have some artillery, but it is also much smaller than the original divisions and regiments, and only light weapons can be equipped in place.

30 divisions and regiments are 900,000 troops, and if all of them are formed, they will even exceed the number of standing armies of Germany, France, and Britain, ranking closely behind the Chinese Empire and Russia, and rising to the third place in the number of standing armies.

Originally, the combined fleet of the Japanese Navy had two Bellerophon-class dreadnoughts built with the help of the British, two Lone class dreadnought battleships built with the help of the French, four Hanoi-class dreadnought battleships designed by the Japanese themselves based on the British Belle-Rophon-class dreadnought battleships and the French Lone class dreadnought-class battleships, and three Amagi-class dreadnought battleships designed by the Japanese based on the Hanoi-class dreadnought battleships.

At present, these 11 dreadnought battleships have joined the combined fleet of the Japanese Navy, plus 7 all-steel battleships, and a large number of other types of Japanese warships, making the Japanese Navy rank sixth in the world in terms of total displacement, the same ranking as the Japanese Army.

After the border conflict between Russia and the Chinese Empire, the Japanese desperately began to raise military spending, especially after the United States purchased a large amount of Japanese government bonds, the Japanese added three Amagi-class dreadnought battleships, as well as a large number of other types of warships, and the Japanese also began to design their own super dreadnought battleships.

Japan's navy and army have undergone a new round of expansion, but only Japan's air force has maintained the status quo for technical reasons.

The whole of Japan has begun to move towards a road to war again, and this road has clearly pointed to the Chinese Empire! (To be continued......)
